'Fantastic': Carrick sparks fresh contract twist for resurgent Man United hero

Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick has dropped a strong hint over a potential contract extension for one of his key players.

Carrick was speaking to the media ahead of the Premier League contest with Bournemouth later today.

Harry Maguire faces an uncertain future with his current deal expiring at the end of June. He has been exceptional under the new head coach, starting each of the last nine games.

Carrick was pressed on whether the club intend to retain Maguire beyond this season.
